Baghdadi, who holds a PhD in Islamic studies, said Muslims were being targetted and killed from China to Indonesia. Speaking as the first Caliph, or commander of the Islamic faithful since the dissolution of the Ottoman empire, he called on Muslims to rally to his pan-Islamic state."Those who can immigrate to the Islamic State should immigrate, as immigration to the house of Islam is a duty," he said in an audio recording released on a website used by the group formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham."Rush O Muslims to your state. It is your state. Syria is not for Syrians and Iraq is not for Iraqis. The land is for the Muslims, all Muslims."This is my advice to you. If you hold to it you will conquer Rome and own the world, if Allah wills."

This guy is (wickedly) awesome. He's gone bin Laden one better -- not just working for a caliphate, but declaring it already exists, and he's the Caliph. The last devil comes back 7 times stronger.
